Hi Guys,
I hope you like XML.
I've just filled the nml-example repository with a whole bunch of
examples and proposals that I like to go through next week at the OGF.
If you haven't checked it out, do so now:
svn checkout --username YourGridForgeName \
https://forge.ogf.org/svn/repos/nml-examples
If you get a permission error, let me know off-list.
The examples are also attached to this mail, but be aware that I may
improve some typos and add clarifications in the coming days.
The examples and proposals are:
subtopology - hasNode
four alternative proposals how to relate a topology and a node
subtopology - hasTopology
one example and three questions how to relate a topology to
a subtopology (hopefully trivial after we decided on hasNode)
subtopology - inbound-outbound-ports
four proposals to decide on the term for ingress and
egress ports
subtopology - alias
three proposal to relate a external port of a topology
with its internal structure
versioning - lifetime
a (surely flawed) example how I interpreted Aaron's
description of the current use of lifetime in IDC.
versioning - aliases-lifetime
versioning - aliases-version
six proposals to describe the changes in a network over
time using either a lifetime object or a version attribute
vlans - compoundlink
two questions on the exact name of the source/sink relation
and the serial compound link relation
vlans - vlan
a proposal to describe vlans (Ethernet subnets) between
hosts
vlan - shared-switchingservice
vlan - multiple-switchingservice
<not yet written -- will follow sunday or monday>
two proposals to describe multiple VLANs as one or more
switching services inside a single node
In case you wonder "haven't we decided on that already" -- in most
cases, "yes" -- while going through previous examples, I've noted some
small discrepancies. For examples some examples used "source" relation,
while others used "hasSource". I don't care, so we should decide, and
that's what this is about: make sure that we make a decision. Note the
consensus and make the decision authoritative, so we can refer back to
it, and update the previous examples to comply with the decision.
I did my best to make all proposals stand on it's own, and VERY much
hope that the decision for most proposals is a formality without discussion.
Regards,
Freek
